7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)

9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together..
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.

24. Make friends with good positive people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite sayings and/or scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you God.'
